My favorite - Top 3 in Pingyao

There are so many escort banks that it is easy to miss one because you have already seen too many. This is THE one to visit. Much larger than the others, it is also easy to miss the basement, which is very interesting.

Interesting history
Oct 2013 • Couples
This was an interesting place as it was where banking started in China. We had a very knowledgeable guide (Miss Lu) who explained how they used to keep money safe, how the first "cheques" were controlled and how monies were transferred.

Well worth the visit and some interesting facts about how banking started and cheques developed. It was very crowded though so go early

Not worth a visit
Aug 2013 • Friends
This is apparently a must see according to the Lonely Planet but it's really just a few rooms with not much in them.

Another Ancient Bank
Jun 2012 • Solo
It's quite similar to Rishengchng.
If the time is tight, this can be skipped.
Many introduction materials are only in Chinese.
